Buying advice
- Keep the lightning detection radius separate from the radio link: the AcuRite detects lightning within 25 miles, but its radio range to the display is rated at 330 feet and depends on home construction materials.1
- The GARNI 072L and 094L need two AA batteries each; the AcuRite 06045MA1 needs four.123
